196 DE METHODO EXEMPLUM V. 45. Inter omnes curvas az aequales areas aAZz continentes, determinare eam, quae circa axem AZ rotata generet solidum minimae superficiei. Quoniam proprietas communis in area $= \int y dx$ constituitur; erit ejus valor differentialis $= nv. dx$. Deinde formula, quae minimum esse debet, est $\int y dx \sqrt{(1+pp)}$, cujus valor differentialis est $= nv . (dx \sqrt{(1+pp)} - d. \frac{yp}{\sqrt{(1+pp)}}) ;$ unde orietur, pro curva quaesita, ista aequatio $ndx = dx\sqrt{(1+pp)} - d. \frac{yp}{\sqrt{(1+pp)}}$, quae, per $p$ multiplicata & integrata, praebet $ny + b = \frac{y}{\sqrt{(1+pp)}}$, seu $\sqrt{(1+pp)} = \frac{y}{ny+b}$; unde fit $p = \frac{\sqrt{(y^2 - (ny+b)^2)}}{ny+b} = \frac{dy}{dx}$; ac $dx = \frac{(ny+b)dy}{\sqrt{(y^2 - (ny+b)^2)}} = \frac{(ny+b)dy}{\sqrt{((1-n^2)y^2 - 2bny - bb)} [TRUNCATED]
